downtown Austin's neighborhood and real estate blog
A new bar/lounge (guess) called “Agora” is readying their new space at 84 East Avenue in Downtown Austin’s Rainey Street neighborhood. This is just few steps down from East Avenue Lounge (aka Rainey Manor). Picture of Agora and updated Rainey Street Map after the jump.
I also noticed some groundwork being done at the southwest corner of East Ave and Driskill Street. Keep a lookout for a trailer or something to pop up there.

Is this in any way connected to the AGORA in Houston? If so, I think I might piss myself. It’s my favorite place in the entire city.
LOL, fingers crossed! That would be a solid addition. Below is a link to the one in Houston

This is absolutely not connected with the AGORA in Houston. I am the part owner of the establishment here in houston tx and it has nothing to do with us.
Petros, thanks for clarifying.
I live in the Rainey district and I am very disappointed to learn that this Agora is not related to the Houston Agora. There are no good coffee shops within miles of my house. I had high hopes, but no, this Agora will be just another bar– appearing to have none of the character of Luster or Clive. I give it a year.
It is a pizza trailer. Supposed to open on 4/1
If I’m afraid to go there do I have Agoraphobia?
In the antiquity each important town had it’s own AGORA.
It came time that Austin will be having it’s own AGORA soon.
The conclusion is that Austin is an important world city.
Has any one check the REAL agora lately?
I suggest that some one takes some pictures of that establishment.
Their pizza trailer looks good.
I heard the owner is greek and owns a strip club on the north side of town. hope he won’t try and bring the same ambiance of a strip club to this place
Information for the poorly educated.
The frontage of the building is a copy of a TEMPLE located in the in the AGORA of Athens. The original structure was erected approximately
430 BC.
The place in North Austin was sold a few years ago and is now a club owned by stockholders. So, no Greeks own any clubs in North Austin, and maybe the next time you decide to jump and comment on something, you should try getting a little background on your information first.
